Great Chalfield Manor, Wiltshire

National Trust.
Great Chalfield Manor was built in 1467-80. Following centuries of neglect, which left it in a ruinous and partly demolished state, it was restored in 1905-12 for the Fuller family. A century later, it becomes harder to tell which bits are original and which are reconstructed. The house is furnished with period furniture collected by the Fullers. Outside are moats, lawns, and a working estate.
Inside the house are some interesting features. An ancient mural uncovered in the dining room is thought to be of the first owner, Tropnell. High up in the great hall are heads thought to be medieval caricatures. The garden has two large pieces of topiary with cross-passages, and a summerhouse in one corner.
